Recently I found http://lumencache.com . I'm not sure how well it can be integrated into LMCE but they claim to be 10% of cost of standard dimmable LEDs. I was not trying to get a quote... Lately crazy busy on building my beautiful home and I have couple of months before I start looking into all of that.

I did more reading and felt in love with KNX, but I'm still trying to find CSA (Canadian) approved devices. Everything without CSA stamp will not pass building inspection . Everything related to smart home here is INSTEON, X10, HAI and really expensive Lutron, Creston systems.

It would be great to see a complete setup with heating (floor and hvac), lighting and media. Which devices are used and how they are connected. When I start to read about it was hard to see what I need for a complete setup. But I'm doing small learning steps.

I would like to go with a wired solution. Somehow I don't feel good about all the extra frequency waves added. I've read a lot of good things about KNX but they don't support 120V the same thing with PLCBUS.

I would like to setup my house with HAI devices and LinuxMCE. I saw in the in the changelog that support was added to HAI but I'm not sure what I need to buy to combine those system, or what is the best/recommended setup.

Would it be enough to get the HAI PIM, LMCE core and HAI devices to get started or do I need to get OMNI PRO Panel as well.

What do I want to archive:- lighting control via WebOS/iOS - audio/vidoe control through multiple room- security - irrigation- voip

If somebody has any suggestions and experiences with HAI, I would love to hear it.
